Our Top 5 Goggles for 2019

The Oakley Flight Deck is arguably one of the most popular goggle
choices. And for good reason too. Immediately looking at the design it
is clear to see the rimless design. The rimless design allows for a
wider range of view. Allowing advanced views in the periphery and
extremities of the lens compared to framed goggles. These helmet
friendly goggles grip to helmets with its silicon inserts on the strap.
In addition, they're design ensures they play nice with helmets. This
means a more comfortable and hassle free wear. This is enhanced by the
triple layer foam which increases comfort and wicks away moisture.

Technology is in abundance in the Flight Deck. From the 360° frame vents
ensures a less foggy view of the slopes ahead. Therefore allowing clear,
undistorted views through the Prizm lenses. This is where the Oakley
Flight Deck Goggles come into their own. Prizm lenses offer the highest
colour clarity and contrast in a lens. Plus, they work well in the
largest range of lighting
conditions. Therefore avoiding a constant swapping between lenses
for the lighting conditions. Although, switching between lenses are a
doddle with the Ridgelock Lens Sub-Frame attachment. In addition, the
frame features small subtle notches, making these Goggles suitable for
glasses to be worn underneath.

Bollé goggles, just like Oakley are full of tech. Much like the Flight
Deck, the design is rimless. Allowing for a wider range of view compared
to a framed goggle. And there is a whole host of technology to prevent
and reduce fogging. The Virtouse goggles feature equalizer vents. These
inserts are between the lenses which regulate air pressure, to reduce
fogging. In addition, the lens is a double lens, allowing a gap between
the two lenses for the equalizer vents to work their magic. Furthermore,
the lenses are layered with P-80+ which disperses and moisture that may
get onto the lens away from the central view and away along with the
Flow Technology

The lenses are CarboGlas®. This means they have a high level scratch
resistance for a prolonged clear view. The lens, combats and prevents
100% of UVA/UVB rays from entering the eye. Plus, these lenses are
interchangeable to swap between the right lens for the conditions. If,
comfort is your thing, the Bollé Virtouse features silicon strips on its
strap for grip. And, the goggles feature triple layer of foam for
comfort.

The Spy Marshall goggles are a great choice to take on the slopes. Not
only do they provide a great stylish look, but one that is comfortable.
This is due to the 3 layer foam. This adds comfort for an all day slope
day and draws moisture away. Therefore keeping you comfortable dry and
less irritated by damp foam. Furthermore, the strap has silicon strips
to grip to the helmet. But more interestingly has a dual adjustment.
This allows for further, more accurate fitting, getting that
personalized fit around the helmet or your head.

The main feature we think in the Marshall Goggle is the Scoop®
Ventilation. This is a patented design which reduces fogging. By
strategically placing vents in the lens and goggle, air pushes through
the eyewear. Therefore reducing air pressure, the main cause of fogging.
Meaning, fogging is unlikely to occur. This is further improved by the
Anti-Fog ARC® spherical dual lens with anti-scratch protection.

The Cébé Origins L goggles offer a high level of performance just like
the others on this list. Double lenses reduce vision distortion and
fogging, as does the ventilation between both lenses. This is improved
with three dense foam layers. These add comfort but also avoids snow and
moisture from entering the fray and adding to the build up of fogging
moisture. Much like many on the list, the Cébé Origins L provides
silicon strips on the strap for added grip to helmets.

What we really love about the Origins L Goggles are the lenses. These
are spherical. Opposed to just rounded. This means that rather than the
x axis being curved, that the x and y axis are curved. Therefore giving
a wider surface area and in turn an enhances field of view. Allowing you
to take in all the wonders at the summit or all obstacles in your
periphery.

These Smith goggles are perfect for those with a smaller head. The fit
smaller faces perfectly while still packing the same great technology
that a larger goggle has to offer. The Smith I/OS really shine when it
comes to changing lenses. The interchangeable lens system is super quick
and easy, allowing you to click in and out lenses when necessary. And
the technology doesn't stop there. The lenses feature a 5x anti-fogging
technology. This really brings the I/OS into its own. The technology is
a coating which creates invisible etchings, thus increasing the surface
area. This helps in displacing moisture. Even better, these etchings are
permanent and cant be cleaned away like some anti-fog treatments. The
strap is a quick fit strap. Allowing you to quickly and easily adjust
the size of the strap to the perfect length. Then it is all held
together with a buckle. Something that the others on this list don't
boast. In addition, the three layer foam insert keeps the face dry and
comfortable.
